In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this four-day lesson, learners identify three-dimensional forms in castle design, research different parts of the castle with a focus on their uses, and design and enlarge a banner for the great ha

In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

Learners build 3D representations of constellations, which show not just the position of the stars as seen from Earth but also their relative distance from Earth.

In this activity, learners create a three-dimensional sculpture while examining the characteristics of fish.

In this activity, learners investigate the basic crystal structures that metal atoms form.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.

In this fun snack and craft activity, young learners make "Ants on a Log" and their own model of an insect. The purpose is to learn the three main insect body parts—head, thorax and abdomen.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.

Educator Amy O'Donnell from the American Museum of Natural History guides learners to create a diorama of a coral reef.

Build your own Mini Mini Golf Course and learn about hands-on building and design, basic circuitry, motion modules and more!

In this activity, learners make balloon models of disease-causing bacteria.

In this three-day lesson, learners identify two-dimensional shapes used in castle construction, create a castle collage using assorted shapes, and design tapestries using repeated patterns of color, s

In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.
